1997 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe 2-door 3.6l on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
The 1997 Porsche 911 (993) Turbo is a very rare vehicle - only 1,048 of the Turbo edition were ever imported into the United States. It's the last air-cooled edition built. Per Wikipedia: "993 Turbo models, because of raw power, reliability and their nature as the final air-cooled 911 Turbo cars still command a massive premium." I have owned this particular car since 1998, at which time I purchased it with roughly 1000 miles on the odometer. I'm absolutely in love with the car, deeply appreciating the innovation and quality of design and build poured into the vehicle, and I certainly never thought I'd sell it, but with three kids and a cross-country move coming up, my wife finally convinced me. :)
Feature-wise, the paint color is Guards Red, so people will definitely see you coming. The interior is black leather with aluminum accents (gauge faces, shifter, Turbo-style kick plates) and black carpeting and carpeted floor mats. The transmission is the six-speed manual (and the shifter is absolutely the smoothest I've ever operated). Several years ago, I had the suspension professionally upgraded and lowered for improved handling and better ride quality. I also replaced the stock audio system (which is poor by today's standards) with an ultra-high-end system, including very high quality high-power amps, an Alpine head unit and a subwoofer mounted under the driver's side rear seat. The system incorporates full iPhone integration to enable music on the phone to be navigated and played through the system as well as bluetooth hands-free phone support. All of this work is reversible if desired. The car is in excellent condition - I've definitely driven it, but I've also taken great care of it, and all systems work properly. I recently replaced all of the HVAC servos (as well as other parts of the HVAC system), when one servo started to fail, so the HVAC system is in brand-new condition. I also just had a major maintenance service on the vehicle. When I originally took possession, I had clear protective film installed in all the key areas of the body to protect the paint and glass. It drives phenomenally - very much the same as the day I took possession - uncanny throttle response and acceleration (0-60 mph in 3.9s, top speed of approximately 195 mph) aided by the four-wheel-drive and sophisticated traction system. It has always been in a smoke-free environment. NOTE: if you use Autocheck to verify the history of the vehicle, you'll see that they list the odometer at 115,000 miles. It's incorrect - the mileage is 53,278, as indicated above and shown in the photos. CarFax already corrected the error, but Autocheck has not. This error was the result of an emission check station attendant incorrectly hand-entering the odometer reading. I very much hope that the person who purchases my car loves it and enjoys driving it as much as I have! |

Meet Buster, this 1968 Porsche racecar transporter from Mercedes
Thu, Dec 11 2014If you're thinking about Porsche and Mercedes-Benz when it comes to motorsports, your first thought is probably on the two German brands battling on the track. However, for decades, whenever Porsche's factory team went to compete, a custom Mercedes was right along with them hauling the racecars. These days the truck lives in the Brumos Collection in Jacksonville, FL, and goes by the nickname Buster. However, its story goes back to 1968 when Porsche ordered two commercial vehicles from Mercedes and then handed them over to a Stuttgart-based outfitter for customization. The results were these racing transporters that hauled models like the 917 and 956 until the '80s. The other survived, too, with a place in Porsche's collection. Well-known racers in their own right, Brumos scooped up the transporter in 2003 and have kept driving it to vintage racing events. The interior now boasts the signatures of many of the great drivers from the era of this historic truck. Watch the video for the whole story on the Mercedes with a whole lot of Porsche inside.
Ring Taxi BMW M3 chases an Aventador SV and Cayman GT4
Thu, Apr 7 2016On paper, a BMW M3 that's loaded with three passengers probably shouldn't have a chance at keeping up around a track with a Porsche Cayman GT4 and a Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce. In the real world, driver skill and track knowledge can make all the difference, though. And when the M3 is a Nurburgring Taxi with a driver that knows the course incredibly well, we end up getting a fantastic lap like this one. The 'Ring Taxi driver starts by teasing his passengers that they'll see whether the Lambo is fast. Before the two of them get on track, the GT4 cuts in to join the party. What follows is a fascinating lap of the Nordschleife. It's impressive how the BMW driver's skill allows him to keep up with the two other cars and blow past tons of other traffic. During faster sections, the Porsche and Aventador start to pull away, but as soon as the course gets curvy again, the M3 is right back in the action. As the group pulls back into the parking lot, even the Ring Taxi driver sounds impressed with his performance. See the impressive show in the video above. Related Video:
Watch Jay Leno's Garage work on a Porsche 911 and others
Mon, Apr 18 2016Jay Leno doesn't just own a bunch of cars – he restores them. (Or has people who restores them, at any rate.) For this latest video, he's showing us some of the projects he and his team are currently working on. The tour-de-garage starts with a 1953 Cunningham that had been in storage since '68, complete with a copper grille ready for plating and a 331 Hemi V8. Jay says that every one of the cars that Briggs Cunningham made is still on the road – but that's just one of the dozen or so projects Jay and company are working on. There's a suitably brown '71 Porsche 911 T in near-original condition having sat untouched parked underground in Beverly Hills for decades, and a '58 Chrysler Imperial convertible once driven by Clark Gable and Frank Sinatra, and now getting a brake upgrade. There's a Volvo 122 wagon that's been stripped down, media-blasted, and powder-coated, a thousand-horsepower Rolls-Royce, a 1960 Nash Metropolitan, a supercharged Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman, and a 1914 Detroit Electric. And those are just the four-wheeled automobiles. Over in the two-wheeler section there's a pair of Brough Superiors, a BSA, an Indian, and a custom racing sidecar that Jay's mechanic Bernard is working on. In short, Jay Leno's Garage isn't just one where vehicles are kept – it's one where vehicles are brought back to life.
